This is the Jeff Merrick Show on the Sports Net Radio Network.

They might be the most interesting team in the

NHL. They are the Philadelphia Flyers and we'll get to them here in a couple of moments.

First want to remind you, top of the hour E.J. Radick stops by from the NHL network and also Steve Goldstein will join us. Florida

Panthers play-by-play voice. Only question there is, are things great or really great, Steve?

Things are really great, Jeff, and here's why.

It's kind of a preview of what hour or two is going to sound like.

Meanwhile, before hitting a little bit of a speed wobble, things were really great

for the Philadelphia Flyers, and they were looking like they were really great for the Philadelphia Flyers and they

were looking like they were going to be the surprise team with the NHL of the

season and they still have very well might be but they'll need to pull out of a

little speed wobble here after the break our friend Charlie or Connor joins me from p h h hl y sports and co-host of the p h h hl y flyers podcast Charlie how are you today

doing well. thanks for having me.

The pleasure is mine.

Do we look at it as, you know, this is just temporary and they have the horses to get past it or is this the Philadelphia

Flyers starting to hit a wall here Charlie? It's tough to say but I think that

over I guess we're talking about now the first three and a half

months of the season I think their play over that span it at least for me it gives me the willingness to kind of cut them some slack.

They they went through a really really demanding schedule in January a lot of trips out west

I guess dating back honestly to that post Christmas week but of

a lot of trips out west, I guess dating back honestly to that post Christmas week, but a few trips out west, a lot of games.
